If you’re planning to purchase a metal building, there are several factors to consider. A metal building will typically require less maintenance and repairs, and less risk of mold or mildew growth when compared to exterior wood clad buildings. The guide below highlights several details to think about to ensure you make the best decision.

How Much Space Do You Need?

Depending on the size of your operation, you will need to choose a building that will accommodate your production level. Whether you’ll be using the structure for livestock, materials, or equipment, it’s important to know what size will be appropriate for your needs.

What Is Your Budget?

The cost of the building isn’t the only expense you will need to take into consideration. Site preparation may need to be conducted by an excavation contractor prior to construction of your building. Your Bilt-Rite Buildings salesperson can assist you in planning any additional costs which may need to be factored into your budget.

What Materials Will Be Used?

Understanding the type of materials that are available for metal building is essential to ensure you know what to expect. Will the building be constructed with posts in ground or on a concrete foundation? Is the structure made of durable materials such as yellow pine framing lumber, steel roofing and siding, and does the contractor provide a warranty? Find out how the building should be maintained to ensure it has a long life.

Who Is Your Builder?

You will need to choose a commercial builder with experience in metal buildings and can erect quality structures. Consult with the contractor to determine whether he understands your needs and the type of metal building you require to run a smooth operation and one that fulfills all of your needs.
